Private Water-works.

R. T. Freeman, who owns a
splendid 660-acre farm six miles
Southeast of this city, had complet-
ed on that place yesterday a perfect
system of water-works, though of
course on a small scale. The
system is supplied from a living
well 100 feet in depth, in which
the water stands thirty feet from
the top. An immense tank, with
a capacity of 5000 gallons, is filed
by means of a windmill. From
this tank pipes of different sizes
are laid to all parts of the farm.
Nine troughs r kept in nearly as
many pastures, the flow of water to
them being regulated by automatic
valves. These troughs have a ca
pacity of four barrels each. Ofthe
inch pipe alone nearly four
thousand feet we're used. The
works were constructed under the
supervision of Mr.. John Dyke, of
the E. R. Cunningham plumbing
establishment, this city.
